Extrapolation des inventaires de biodiversité incomplets : comment estimer au mieux le nombre d’espèces manquantes et prévoir l’effort additionnel d’…

While approaching or even reaching total completeness remains the idealgoal of any species inventory, incomplete samplings are deemed to become more often the rule, that are significantly more difficult to cope with (such as (micro-) invertebrates, for example).However, once post-operated appropriately, incomplete samplings may provide farmore data than it would seem and it is indeed possible to obtain valuable extra information froma reliable mode of extrapolation of the so-called Species Accumulation Curve.In fact, numerous tools designed for the exploitation of incomplete samplings havealready been proposed in the literature but the concern, with these numerous different tools, isprecise…
Extrapolation of the Species Accumulation Curve for Incomplete Species Samplings: A New Nonparametric Approach to Estimate the Degree of Sample Compl…
2015
9 pages; International audience; Incomplete species samplings are deemed to remain the common practice in those groups of animals, such as small or micro- invertebrates, with numerous species that often are more or less difficult to detect in the field. Thus, extrapolating the Species Accumulation Curve as far as possible beyond the actual sample size may thus serve as a useful (although imperfect) surrogate to the desired, but practically inaccessible, complete samplings. In this context, several kinds of theoretical or empirical models for the Species Accumulation Curve and also a lot of estimators of the asymptotic limit of the Curve (i.e. total species richness) have been proposed. The …
